That could be the reason. > But he also complains that no digest mails are being sent when he set > _send_digest_now to Yes. Did he press "Submit Your Changes" after setting _send_digest_now to Yes? If so, and if there were digested messages and digest members with delivery enabled, something else is wrong. What response did he get when pressing "Submit Your Changes" after setting _send_digest_now to Yes? What's in Mailman's error log. > He also set digest_send_periodic to Yes. > > We're confused that the digest_send_periodic text is saying "Should a digest > be dispatched daily when the size threshold isn't reached?" as he wants the > digest to be sent weekly as set in digest_volume_frequency. digest_volume_frequency has nothing to do with how often periodic digests are sent. It only controls how often the vvv is incremented and ii is reset in the "List_name Digest, Vol vvv, Issue ii" Subject: header of the digest. > The /var/log/cron shows that the /usr/lib/mailman/cron/senddigests is being > run daily at noon. Good. > 1) Where can I see if digest mails are in fact being sent out? Your MTA logs and Mailman's smtp log. Also, digest messages are accumulated in lists/list_name/digest.mbox, and when a digest is sent, this file is removed. > 2) Where will Mailman log digest issues? Mailman's error log and in the output from cron/senddigests (for periodic digests. Note, that often the output, if any, from Mailman's cron jobs is mailed to the 'mailman' user which happens to be the site list. If the site list is not configured to accept non-member posts, and the site admin is not a member of the site list, this output is often lost. You can either set the site list as above or add a MAILTO= directive with a deliverable address to Mailman's crontab. > 3) Does the digest_send_periodic daily affect the > digest_volume_frequency weekly? They have nothing to do with each other. Note you can run cron/senddigests manually for all or a single list. See 'cron/senddigests -h'. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
